The concept of smart tools and appliances has always been nightmarish to me. I don't want a smart wrench, stove, toilet or drill. The intelligence should be in the handler of these items, and the design itself.
I know things can be designed and programmed to do amazing things, some of them admirable. I don't need any of them. I just wonder if there will always be a choice. When I need a computer, I'll use a computer. I don't ever want to read the news on my spatula, or edit a video with my toaster.
This shit should be beaten, severely, back whence it came.
